If you see a snake

Four steps to stay safe

  1. 1

    Keep 6–10 feet away

    Never grab, corner or strike a snake. Most bites happen when people try to kill or handle one.

  2. 2

    Clear children and pets

    Close the room off. Leave outdoor escape routes open so the snake can leave.

  3. 3

    Watch from a distance

    Note where it is. Never risk a close-up photo.

  4. 4

    Call the helpline

    Call 89846 47052 or 79756 70171, or send an online request.
